Dunmore School Board approves budget, tax hike

DUNMORE — School directors on Monday approved a 2.7 percent real estate tax increase along with the district’s $19.33 million budget for the 2014-15 school year.

District residents will see their millage rates rise from 100.45 to 103.16, meaning Dunmore homes with the average residential assessment of $12,457 will pay an extra $34 on property tax bills.

School directors also approved a $107.63 deduction for residential properties that are the primary homes of district residents, Business Manager Antoinette Lopatka said.

Last year’s deduction was $105.43.
